Oude Jenever is a traditional Dutch spirit that dates back to the 16th century. It is made from malt wine, which is distilled and flavored with juniper berries and other botanicals. The drink is known for its smooth, rich taste and is often enjoyed neat or in cocktails. Unlike its younger counterpart, Jonge Jenever, Oude Jenever has a more pronounced malt flavor and a slightly sweeter profile. It is typically aged in wooden casks, which contributes to its complex character. This spirit is an important part of Dutch culture and is often served in a small glass, accompanied by a snack.
